New! ohio's new renewable energy siting laws in senate bill 52
Ohio adopted a new law that gives counties, townships, and local residents new authorities over utility-scale wind and solar energy developments that are 50MW in size or more. The new provisions include the ability for counties to restrict and reject such developments within a county, citizen rights to submit development restrictions to a public vote, and requirements for informing and involving local governments in reviewing a project application before the Ohio Power Siting Board. The new law also establishes requirements for decommissioning a facility. Learn more in our following bulletins, videos, and podcast on Senate Bill 52.
